When the Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) in California knew it needed to update its technology infrastructure, it turned to Dell Professional Services (DPS) for help. The DPS team listened to Glendale's input, assessed their existing technology environment, evaluated everything from budget to staffing and then created a streamlined, scalable infrastructure plan. GUSD now has a technology plan that will efficiently and cost-effectively provide a comprehensive solution well into the future.
